An opportunity is a buyer request for listings that meet stated requirements. Post one when the catalog does not have what you need. Tier 2 vendors respond by submitting matching listings for you to review and purchase. Vendors who can see the request also see your organization’s name, unless you post it anonymously. You always see which vendor organization submitted each listing.
1

Start a new opportunity

Open Opportunities in the sidebar and choose New opportunity. The composer has four steps: Basics, Requirements, Quality checks, and Review.
2

Fill in the basics

Add a title, an overview, at least one domain tag, and a submission deadline in UTC. The deadline must be in the future; it is when vendors stop submitting. Choose Post publicly to show your organization’s name or Post anonymously to hide it. Attachments, such as a spec as a PDF or ZIP up to 100 MB, are optional.
3

Set the requirements

List must-have and nice-to-have requirements, then choose at least one supply type you will accept. Standalone HUD environments and robotics data cannot be requested.
4

Choose quality checks

Optionally add checks to run on submitted listings, at the listing level or per supply type, with Add a check. Mark the ones you require as Mandatory; environment and task checks cannot be mandatory. Vendors can still submit when you select none.
5

Submit for review

On Review, choose Submit for review, or leave the composer and save a draft. DataVendor reviews the request and sets which vendors see it, all eligible vendors or only invited ones, before it opens.
6

Review submitted listings

Once the request is open, eligible vendors submit listings until the deadline, and you get a notification for each one. They appear on the opportunity under Submitted listings, each marked as matching, partly matching, or outside the supply types you asked for. Buy them through the normal listing checkout.

Lifecycle

Track your requests on the Open, Drafts, In review, and Closed tabs. To stop a request early, choose Close on an open or in-review opportunity.

Existing project opportunities

Legacy project opportunities and their submission history are available in Projects. These records are read-only.
